COVID-19 Vaccine Prioritization and the Impact of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions

To effectively reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission and improve long-term health, tactical delivery of COVID-19 vaccines is essential. This was the conclusion of a recent study published in PLOS Computational Biology. A team of UK-based researchers found that prioritizing the distribution of the vaccine to at-risk groups, including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, had the greatest impact in terms of minimizing the number of lives lost to the disease.
